The Adam Cole vs Pat McAfee Match Wasn't Rehearsed!?

This past week saw a match at Takeover that was great.

The surprising part was that it involved a pre-show host by the name of Pat McAfee AND the fact that it wasn't rehearsed.

At least, that's what it is reported.

Earlier in the week, Wrestling Observer Radio and Dave Meltzer (from Cagesideseats) said that the reason why the bout wasn't rehearsed is that quote:

"Just went in there and did it because they knew Pat was good and they know Adam is great."

Something really interesting to put out in the side, in an interview with ESPN, McAfee talked about how he perfectly nailed the Swanton during his bout with Adam Cole:

"Jeff Hardy came to my studio a year ago to be a part of the show, he and Matt. And we actually did a Swanton Bomb contest onto a trampoline that we had built in the office, off of a ladder.

And he gave me a high score, rave reviews. He taught me that. And that just seemed like the right thing to do at the time."

Samoa Joe Voices King Shark In Suicide Squad: Kill All The Justice League!?

So. DC Fandome happened and it was nothing but exciting announcements as a fan of all things comic book entertainment.

One of those exciting announcements was Rocksteady's Suicide Squad: Kill All The Justice League CGI trailer.

In it, it had a familiar individual that voiced the sh*t talking, King Shark.

That individual is current Monday Night RAW colour commentator, Samoa Joe.

Joe himself confirmed it on Twitter.

I will be definitely rubbing my hands like Birdman once the game comes out in 2022 on the next-gen consoles as well as PC.

When's Jimmy Uso Coming Back??

One half of The Usos, Jimmy Uso has been out of in-ring action since April.

It's been 4 months and we got an update regarding an-ring return for Uso.

In an interview with Table Talk, Jimmy Uso pretty much said that he's eyeing for a January 2021 return.

Keith Lee Is Getting New Theme Music!?

From Fightful Select (Cagesideseats), The reason why Keith Lee got some generic stock music as his theme song is that WWE is trying to tell its superstars to stop using CFO$ produced songs.

WWE owns 50% of CFO$'s music created for WWE. This WWE/CFO$ situation is worth its own separate article and I ain't going too long in this piece.

Sticking to Keith Lee, a reliable site when it comes to the music side of WWE, Arenataping tweeted out saying that Lee will have new music with lyrics.

All I can say is, I hope it's better than what they got.

Paul Ellering On Going To Manage AOP Once Again.

Paul Ellering recently spoke with the Two Man Power Trip Podcast.

In that discussion, the WWE Hall of Famer brought up the story of how he was about to manage AOP again (from WrestlingInc):

"The idea was to bring me back in, but then this corona stuff came up," Ellering said earlier this month. "Then the guys got hurt and they were out a while, so everything got put on the back shelf and I don't know where it sits now."

That would've been straight flames.

What do you think about the news I just reported and follow me on the tweets @omartheplayaguy. Anyways, stay safe smarks.

A Guide On How To Improve Wrestling Criticism.

Now, before you all verbally eat me alive like a hippopotamus (yes hippos eat humans, look that up), understand that I’m just an average dude writing about pro wrestling and doesn’t claim to be an expert in anything and that includes professional wrestling (except cooking. I’m damn good at cooking). However, what I’ve been discovering as a pro wrestling blogger for over a year is that there are some wrestling criticism out there that just make me wanna scratch my head to the point where my hands turn into an electric shaver if that makes sense. For instance, “Why is Ricochet’s trunks red instead of white?” or “Why’s Andrade wearing his Luchador mask for his entrance every week?” In other words, they’re nitpicking and trust me I do that ALL THE TIME in my wrestling reviews. There’s nothing wrong with nitpicking certain things but the difference is that I acknowledge that I’m nitpicking and those guys clearly don’t. There are fans out there on the interweb that b...

The 5 News Week Look-Back: Batista's Match With Triple H At Wrestlemania 35 Supposed To Be A Hell In A Cell!?, A Look Back At Eric Bischoff's Role As Executive Director.

Hello, my fellow wrestling fans and welcome to the 5 News Week where I usually report on the 5 major or minor news of the week but I'm not doing that here if you can't tell from the graphic I made (you're welcome, by the way). But Rather, all throughout December, I'm going to look back at some of the news that came out in 2019. The start of a new decade is going to be upon us in the coming days and that can be exciting especially for the future of the wrestling business as a whole. I hope you guys celebrate the new year's day and of course, drink responsibly. Fans Frustration Over The Booking Of The Main Roster Women's Division. I wrote an article earlier this year about why women's wrestling in world wrestling entertainment of the year 2018 was great (which you can click here to read the whole thing). However, it seems like the year after (2019) was the exact opposite. Now, they did rebound the quality of storytelling in the women's div...

WWE Money In The Bank 2021 | A Coherent Review

Last year's Money In The Bank show was one of my all-time favourites. You wanna know why? It's because it ended in 2 hours and 10 minutes. As a guy with an intensive full-time job, that alone has to be the reason why 2020 MITB is a great show. How did this year's show hold up? Well, it was quite simply, an enjoyable 3-hour program. I had my so-called "money's worth" after watching this PPV. Oh, and the Smackdown tag team championship match was aye okay. Images via WWE.com Women's Money In The Bank Ladder Match. You would think that Alexa Bliss would've won this match considering that she has voodoo powers, right? But, I can't pull the "white dude that complains about logic in a subject piece of entertainment" because this match was probably one of the best multi-person ladder matches I've seen in quite some time. Nikki A.S.H overcame the odds like a good superhero story would tell by winning the briefcase. Given that she...
